Convert VCF to CSV on Mac
Got a .vcf file and need a spreadsheet? Exporter for Contacts 2 is a reliable vCard to CSV converter for the Mac: load any vCard file – or your whole Address Book – pick the fields you want and get a clean CSV. It captures details that drag-and-drop into Numbers quietly drops. No subscription, everything stays on your Mac.
How to convert VCF to CSV
- Open Exporter for Contacts 2 and add your external vCard (.vcf) file – or select contacts from your Address Book.
- Choose the fields to keep with the Simple Field Chooser or the Custom Export Layout Editor.
- Select CSV as the output format.
- Save the CSV – ready for Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets or any CRM.
Works with external vCard files
You don't have to import the vCard into Apple Contacts first. Add one or more .vcf files directly and convert them, on their own or together with your address book.
Keeps the details other methods lose
Multiple values, labels, URLs and fields that Apple's drag-to-Numbers trick silently skips are all preserved – you decide exactly what ends up in each column.
A standards-based conversion
The CSV format options – delimiter, encoding, line-break handling – are all adjustable, so the output fits whatever target app or service you're importing into.
What users say
"This is the only app I could find that can convert vcf contact lists to csv. It has many conversion options and worked perfectly the first time I tried it."
"Vcards are all well and good, but neither Apple’s “Contacts” app/database nor my preferred “Busy Contacts” app supports exports beyond Vcards. That’s where this app shines."
"This tool converts perfectly to any platform or program. Works without spoiling own your address book."
